Cold Weather? Try a Braid

When all else fails, the braid ALWAYS works. Nearing the end of last week (well, Friday to be exact), it had gotten really cold here in NYC. Too cold NOT to wear a hat. A dilemma I always have with curly hair is wearing a hat! Hats will crush my curls and make it look flat (usually I'll throw my hood on, but it was just too cold for that). So, since it was a Friday, it was cold, I was tired and my WavyCoil was four days old I decided to go for the braid. A simple, low braid with a side (or sometimes middle) part would suffice. And it did:I used aloe vera gel to help tame flyaways and keep the puffballs at my temples at bay. A small finger-ful of coconut oil helped to keep my ends moisturized and full of sheen. With this style I was able to throw on my hat and stay warm!
